 Saguaros made a tremendous effort to gain the lead the last day.
The weather was exceptionally warm and comfortable.  The Luncheon at Red's Grill on the final day was terrific, good food, great service, happy golfers!

MANY THANKS TO DEE, CAROL AND TYNETTE FOR ORGANIZING THIS EVENT AND PROVIDING THE TEE PRIZES -- HANDY GOLF BAGS FOR ALL PLAYERS.

 

 

 

 

November 1st - Kickers Replay. Members who played were encouraged to use one mulligan on the front nine and one mulligan on the back nine. Pace of play was kind of slow at first but then with some attention by an Ambassador, the pace speeded up on the back nine. Twenty-eight teed off at nine o'clock. No one complained about the weather but a few, like me, were thinking of taking up bowling after hitting balls into the water on 15 and 17. Molly Van Marter shot a 76 with two birdies! Wow, it was great to be able to play with her!

OCTOBER OPENING LUNCHEON

OPENING DAY LUNCHEON

Forty members attended this lovely mid day meal at Litchfield's in the Wigwam Resort. Judy Kennell and Elizabeth Nelson planned and organized the meal and decorations.

October 25 - ABCD Harvest Ball/Hero Event. Followed by Opening Day Luncheon in Litchfield's at the resort.  Players were provided an Orange Ball so each player in the foresome had an opportunity to be a hero and count her low net score twice. Weather was outstanding and the Patriot course was a bright emerald green having been recently overseeded; greens were slow but the field was moving right along and finished in a little over 4 hours. There were 4 really low scores on this day.

Winners:

First Place Team - Boggs, Nelson, Scott, Camp - Net 122
Second Place Team - Polumbus, Gannon, Mulvaine - Net 122
Third Place Team - Erickson, Stankovic, Wilson, Boyer - Net 124
Fourth Place Team - Wilner, DeWitt, Stoneback, Dick - Net 124

October 11 & 18 - Individual Eclectic.  27 players played round one on the Heritage Course on the 11th and returned to the familiar turf on the 18th to play round two.  The better score on each hole held for the contest. Lunch in the West Room of Red's Grill right after the final round was a great way to finish the two day tournament.  Round two had 28 members participating for a total of 30 members in this two day tournament that was moved from April, which is the month that this contest  is usually played.  We had a better than expected turnout moving it from April to October.

Winners were:

First Flight: 1st DeSino, 2nd Barker, 3rd Mayben, 4th Erickson
Second Flight: 1st Gannon, 2nd Paulson, 3rd Van Wagner, 4th Stankovic
Third Flight: 1st Scott, 2nd Armstrong, 3rd Stoneback, 4th Kirschner
